How do you choose to move? Like nothing else on the planet...

A 600 lb bear (who is NOT considered overweight) can climb a tree, an ant can lift over 50X its body weight, and well most animals on planet earth have more maneuverability and endurance than human beings.  Humans are clumsy, move awkwardly, and basically are not very coordinated when compared to the thousands of other species on this planet.  Not to mention over 65% of Americans are overweight, so they move less than the best athletes.

So what are we to do if most if not all other species can move faster, demonstrate more agility, and flow through space in a more precise way?  Well I suggest this....

I focus clients movements on specific joints that humans poses and their are 13 major joints on the human kino-matic chain (starting at bottom up):  ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and neck.  With utilizing the way a joint moves, that can help to isolate-muscle and/or recruit more muscles for a specific task (exercise).

With a focus on functional (real world) training verses traditional.  The difference is functional combines many (3 or more) joints in several phases of a movement. Where as traditional exercise like a bench press will find a person laying on their back with only 2 joints moving.   A functional exercise like a bear crawl (walking on all fours equally) applies all 13 joints to move at once in a diversity of patterns that applies a persons body weight as resistance.  This is an ideal movement for results because it is a whole body work out, which produces faster changes in body fat.

The results are the core of the body is strengthen through regular dynamic movements and that transcends into everything else (arms & legs) being more toned & trained.  Making bear noises is optional, but always adds a fun element when my neighbor looks out the window & I’m moving around my front lawn on all fours!
